USA-Parade

[cliffhanger]

Hab ein Video von der Parade gesehen....hab lang überlegt ob ich was dazu schreiben soll.... ok es muss sein...
Was ist denn da passiert....auch wenn Militärparaden in den USA keine Tradition haben.
Ich kann einfach nicht glauben das das Soldaten waren, eher Schauspieler.
Ein Soldat, auch ein Amerikanischer, kann gar nicht so falsch im Schritt gehen.
Im Schlabberlook ohne Waffe(bis auf die Historischen), die 2 Haubitzen die vorbeigekarrt wurden hams
auf einem Schrottplatz gefunden, so zerschunden wie die ausgeschaut haben ....
damit haben sich die Amis glaub ich keinen Gefallen getan.


...ab 1:19:00 wird´s drastisch...

Eine der liebevollsten Möglichkeiten, "go fuck yourself" in Richtung der Gratulanten auf der Bühne zu flüstern. Die begnadeten Marschierer sind ja auch aus der Army Reserve und damit sowas wie unsere Miliz, nur halt ein bisserl freiwilliger.

Die Werbung hinter der Bühne ist mit das Peinlichste, was ich je gesehen habe. Trump glaubt, damit eine Botschaft der Stärke zu senden, aber Peking und Moskau lachen sich doch nur kaputt über diese Farce.

Tech giants including Oracle, Lockheed Martin quietly fund Trump’s military parade

President Trump’s military parade this weekend is expected to be a costly display of pomp and circumstance – and it’s being bankrolled by some major Big Tech giants.

Oracle, Lockheed Martin, Palantir, Coinbase and Amazon have recently donated to America250, the nonprofit raising funds for the nation’s semiquincentennial anniversary, the organization said.

“Many of these sponsors will support the upcoming grand military parade being held in Washington, DC, on Saturday, June 14, to celebrate the US Army’s 250th birthday,” America250 said in a press release this week.

Oracle confirmed it is sponsoring Saturday’s parade, as did Exiger, an AI-powered supply chain management company, and Lockheed Martin, which called it a “momentous occasion.”

Palantir, Coinbase and Amazon did not respond to The Post’s requests for comment.

The nonprofit has listed several other sponsors on its website, including Coca-Cola; Phorm Energy, an energy drink from Anheuser-Busch; Scott’s Miracle Gro; and Stellantis auto brands Chrysler, Jeep, Ram and Dodge.
